Chapter 677: Reason for the war (1/2)
Sam stayed there for the time being and helped the dwarves rebuild the town in a better way.
Not only did he help them have a better layout, he even added the defensive system using the stream into their new designs.
His friends went onto assist them in taking the sacking villages back and even the captured towns are taken back.
By the end of six months, Arman still didn't get the coordinates for the next location of the Palace of inheritance.
Sam is currently waiting for Veer to come and pay the debts.
There is no way he could just leave without any proper payment after doing so much for the people here.
He sent a message to the City of the council.
The war has also ended there. The Minotaur and Orc tribes are pushed back into their territories.
While Sam is waiting for the answer from Veer. He broke through to the Level-2 of Pre-transcendent stage.
He noticed that although the time for breakthroughs is increasing with his increase in cultivation, the more his cultivation increased, the harder it is becoming for him to suppress the cultivation stage without breaking through.
He was able to suppress the breakthrough for a couple of months when he is still a Nascent stage cultivator. But his bloodlines are becoming harder to be kept in a suppressed state, the more he broke through further.
He is feeling like his plan to improve and have a more solid foundation has gone to shit, but at least his foundation is more solid than most of his peers.
While he is contemplating on what his third puppet should be like, Veer has finally arrived.
Veer directly came to his residence where Sam is staying.
Sam looked at him and smiled.
”I am sorry your house was changed, but you know I don't have time to find another place at that time. At least your town is safe and not many people died.”
”I wouldn't have minded even if you have raged every single house in the town to the ground if it meant to save the town.”
Veer said with a chuckle as he bowed his short body to Sam and said in a solemn tone.
”Thank you so much for your help, if not for you we would have been in big trouble.”
Sam didn't dare to accept that bow. He could accept gratitude, but this much is too much even for him.
He hurried stood up and asked him to stand before saying.
”It is just a transaction. Please don't be so formal.”
Veer looked at him and said.
”It is not actually a transaction for me. Do you know what that war signifies to us dwarves? If all four towns are taken down at the same time, it would have cost the survival of the whole dwarven race and the whole banished realm.
Even the Minotaurs and Orcs wouldn't be spared. They would have died and become part of the corpse army of the undead races.
But they are too stupid to realize and tried to attack us for them.”
Sam was surprised a bit. He didn't expect that there is such a story behind this.
Veer continued.
”I heard you made a bunker under the mansion. Have you noticed anything?”
”Excess vitality and life force.”
”If you have dug another two hundred meters, you would have noticed something else.
Do you know that the Undead realm and the Banished realm are actually used to be one realm?”
”Yes. I heard about it before I came here.”
”The realm is actually an extremely unstable realm without any form of natural support for any life. When they decided to banish us and the Undead races to this realm, they didn't want the race to suffer extinction which would damage the balance of the universe. That is why a god divided the realm into two and placed some objects within these two newly formed realms.
We don't know exactly what they are, but they managed to create and sustain life in this banished realm and create an environment with death energy to let the undead races barely survive.
But the undead races that tried to make their comeback couldn't be satisfied with their survival. Do you know what they are lacking?
The life force.
